Shockwave Therapy
If you’re dealing with chronic heel pain, tendon issues, or injuries that haven’t improved with rest or standard treatments, Shockwave Therapy may offer a highly effective, non-invasive solution. At Pomona Valley Podiatry, Dr. Brian O’Neill evaluates your condition and treatment history to determine if this advanced therapy is the right next step. His goal is to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and help you return to normal activity without surgery or prolonged downtime.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues of the foot and ankle. It is commonly used for conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, and other chronic soft tissue injuries. Clinically, the therapy promotes increased blood flow, stimulates cellular repair, and helps break down scar tissue or calcifications that contribute to persistent pain. Treatments are performed in-office, require no anesthesia, and typically involve a short series of sessions, making it a convenient option for patients seeking an alternative to more invasive procedures.

Who Would Benefit From Shockwave Therapy
This therapy is recommended for patients experiencing chronic pain in the heel, arch, or tendon structures of the foot and ankle, particularly when symptoms have not responded to conservative care such as rest, orthotics, or physical therapy. It is often used for overuse injuries, tendon inflammation, and conditions involving poor tissue healing. Early-stage cases may respond quickly with a limited number of sessions, while more persistent or longstanding conditions may benefit from a structured treatment plan over multiple visits to achieve lasting improvement.
